The governing coalition, made up of the Social Democrats, the Socialist People’s Party and the centrist Social Liberal Party, lacks a parliamentary majority and is internally weak, but will make it through to the election due in 2015. This is partly because, political manoeuvring aside, there is broad consensus on economic matters, seeking a balance between fiscal rectitude and sustainable growth. The country will be rewarded by a return to growth after double-dipping in 2012 and 2013.
